Jumping in a little late....
It does strike me as kind of odd how much the Internet has been
conflated with the Web.
After all, we spend so much of our time reading & writing email. Bills
come via email. A lot of voice & txt traffic is now via the net, and now
we have Zoom.
There's also a big difference between the web as media, marketplace, and
library.
Maybe those of us who build, maintain, and operate network services are
not doing a good enough job of promoting our work.
